Abstract
⺠We derive optimal sales strategies and welfare effects in a dynamic Cournot oligopoly. ⺠We extend the standard model by the inclusion of intertemporal capacity constraints. ⺠Under commitment, prices increase over time. ⺠Under non-commitment, prices may decrease over time. ⺠Commitment generates a higher total surplus than non-commitment.
